what type of thermometer to use for children   

Digital thermometer which is easily available in the market is the safest, easiest and the most accurate thermometer that can be used at home to measure your child’s fever. Always take an axillary temperature that is placing a thermometer in a child's armpit. If the baby is too young, axillary measurement is safe compared to taking temperature by putting a thermometer into a child’s mouth because the child can bite and it might break into his/her mouth hence can be hazardous.
